Okay here is what I know:
PPP's IPCP protocol has problems removing the default route and I do not know 
whether this is a problem of our stack or just my stupidity. :)

Removing an ifnet from our stack (if_detach) has not been tested. Maybe 
something is left behind?

The stack and all its modules must be made thread-safe.

ifconfig is not fully functional. I think that "ifconfig down" fails.
Also, if I remember correctly, I once tried to change the IP of my ethernet 
adapter. This failed somehow...Maybe even some structures in the stack were not 
correctly removed/changed.

At the moment there is nothing more that comes into my mind.

Bye,
Waldemar
